The European Commission has adopted a
Quantum Strategy to position Europe as a global leader in quantum by 2030.
Despite its remarkable progress in quantum technology, the EU needs to do much more. While highlighting Europe’s strengths, the
Quantum Europe Strategy aims to turn Europe into a
quantum powerhouse by fostering a resilient, sovereign quantum ecosystem, that fuels startup growth and transforms breakthrough science into market-ready applications, while maintaining its scientific leadership.
The Strategy focuses on
five interconnected areas:
- Research and Innovation: Consolidating excellence across Europe to lead in quantum science and its industrial transformation
- Quantum Infrastructures: Developing scalable, coordinated infrastructure hubs to support production, design, and application development
- Strengthening the Quantum Ecosystem: through investments in startups and scaleups, securing supply chains and the industrialisation of quantum technologies
- Space and Dual-Use Quantum Technologies (Security and Defence): Integrating secure, sovereign quantum capabilities into Europe’s space, security and defence strategies
- Quantum Skills: Building a diverse, world-class workforce through coordinated education, training, and talent mobility across the EU
